Not to mention NK is economically blockaded and has to endure yearly military provocations by the largest military in the world. No wonder why they take draconian measures.
They take draconian measures because they're held hostage by one of the world's most powerful and effective crime families. One only needs to look at South Korea to see that it doesn't have to be this way.
Aint you confusing it with South korea? ๐
True, the south manages to have a rising GDP and the world's worst rates of suicide, and some of the longest working hours of anywhere, while being held hostage by that same crime family. That is the difference you can expect while you kiss the boot of the empire responsible for segregating your country and preventing any attempts of reunification.
